I was recently in Berlin to speak about content marketing at OMCap and it was a fantastic experience. One of the perks of being a global speaker is the opportunity to visit destinations you love, connect with exciting new people, explore new places and sneak in a dash of sightseeing before heading back home.
It might just be me, but I always have a small amount of guilt in sneaking in fun stuff (eg. sightseeing) when I’m traveling for work reasons. However, because this was a speaking engagement around my book, The Power of Visual Storytelling, I did the sensible thing and booked in some actual vacation time. Guilty conscience removed.
Here are a few things I saw and experienced on this trip to Berlin. I’ll include links to my previous blog posts on Berlin at the bottom of this post.
Things To See & Do Shopping in Ku’damm As an American, it’s always a joy to come to Europe and see what the stores have. Although we have the likes of Zara in Boston, I always like seeing how the stock varies by country. Ku’damm has a ton of upscale and lower priced stores, including the oh-so-posh Ka-De-We, which are worth a browse. Oh, and if you’re lucky like me to have your hotel nearby (see below for recommendation), there’s less mileage involved in schlepping your haul home. Just leave some room in your suitcase ;)!
